T206 Set Collectors

Jack,
It blows my mind that anyone else on this board would have been at that show, that particular day.
However, being that it's Jack Goodman, it's understandable.
Do you know that I still have that old Hershey chocolate candy box that the "T's" were in.
Without mentioning names, I also have the note of the sellers asking price, and the Indiana dealers offer, on the dealers brochure.
They were just $500.00 dollars apart.
While at the table, I saw some of the cards, but I had no knowledge of what went on between the seller and the dealer.
It's not my business, he paid for the table, I wasn't about to interfere, and I forgot all about it until I accidentally bumped into them as I was leaving.
I took a shot, I gave him what he wanted. - He was happy, I was happy.
"Youneverknow."

Jack, at this very moment, words fail me.
I have a lump in my throat, and I'm overwhelmed with emotion.
It is with a ripping heavy heart that I must turn down your over tempting generous offer.
For you see ---- I'm cursed.

I'm a collector ---- woe is me, woe is me.

Stay well,
Joe
